PUSLINCH – On June 14, Sunrise Therapeutic and Riding Centre held its annual signature fundraiser, “Celebrate Sunrise.”

Guests enjoyed a gourmet lunch created by Cambridge-based Little Mushroom Catering, with dessert from Guelph-based Decadently Yours. 

Local supporters and businesses sponsored the event, with auction prizes donated from across the community. 

Auctioneer Robert Milburn, from Milburn’s Auto Sales and Service, conducted the live auction, and together with the silent auction items, the event raised $100,000 to support Sunrise’s programs for children and adults disabilities.

“Our appreciation goes out to the many donors and guests who supported this year’s successful event,” states a press release.
